Renee: Welcome to the final life updates and reading episode of the season.
Renee: We're really winding down season because we just concluded our third and final cultural miniseries on Celtic lore.
Renee: We're leaving cultural exploration behind for now in order to play catch up.
Renee: Hopefully you listen to the Celtic lore in practice episode because I did include a little collective reading at the end.
Renee: That was a little bit of a filler, a tease to apply right now.
Renee: But also I'm going to be channeling later this episode a more extensive deep dive forecast for the coming weeks.
Renee: It's also a great time to remind everyone to listen back to the full year 2026 forecast.
Renee: Go into our podcast feed and search for that bonus episode.
Renee: It dropped in December 2025.
Renee: Those numerology, astrology, and psychic forecasts from Christine and I provided many nuggets of gold to support you all throughout the year, including before and after the season release cycle.
Reflecting on Life Since the Last Update Episode
Renee: Before I get to today's reading, let's catch up a bit.
Renee: In my timeline, the last life update that I recorded was exactly three months ago from today.
Renee: In certain aspects, a lot is the same, but in others, there's been a seismic energetic shift and refocus for me.
Renee: Last time, I talked about failing boundaries, relationship reflections, did a past life reading for myself, and offered a side lesson on the spiritual significance of rocks.
Renee: None of that today.
Renee: I won't be teaching, just sharing and reading.
Renee: Also around that time, I had just recorded part three of the Roman lore mini series, and was preparing to sit down and record chapters 12-14 of Book Club.
Renee: Wow, does that put things in context.
Renee: That feels like forever ago.
Renee: I'm definitely in a better head space and have implemented a lot of little micro shifts.
Renee: There has been more than one week of multiple tech shabbats.
Renee: There's been a huge lesson in that because I have increasingly prized that time, not only for productivity, but creativity and of course, rest.
Renee: In the coming days, I'm going to be sitting down to channel the next batch.
Renee: So I'm curious to see if I start having more of them over the next few months.
Renee: I've been doing even more reading.
From Blood and Ash
Renee: One of the biggest changes I made is I started reading the From Blood & Ash series, as well as the Flesh & Fire prequel series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Renee: I got the recommendation from one of my friends, and I was doing research online, and I ultimately landed on this specific book reading order that ebbed and flowed between the two series.
Renee: As of recording now, I am on my sixth book of the .
Renee: My goal is to finish the current book, book two in the prequel series, ahead of some trips that I'm going to be taking, so I can continue moving through the series, add a good clip, and not run the calendar year out.
Renee: In case you're not familiar with the series, it's in the vein of Throne of Glass and Akatar, in other words, in the Romantic category.
Renee: If you're not familiar with what Romantic books are, here's a quick plug.
Renee: Back in season two, Christine and I recorded as part of our live from the Void mini series, an episode talking about the first book in the Throne of Glass series.
Renee: Following that point, we both finished the series.
Renee: It took me seven months to get through all of those books, because I was also reading other books at the same time.
Renee: But they were pretty hefty, definitely bigger on average than the series I'm reading now.
Renee: Honestly, it took so much out of me that I had to swear off reading any series because there were so much world building going on, so many characters, it took a lot of time, more than half of a calendar year.
Renee: While I had a lot of recommended series or ones that I had found via research on my TBR, I just couldn't bring myself to reading one.
Renee: I knew I needed to wait until the first few months of 2026.
Renee: It ended up taking longer than that and I got closer to the midpoint of the year before I started reading these books.
Renee: I'm finding that Jennifer's writing style, especially in the earlier books in this series, it's much easier to read.
Renee: It's a faster read, not that Sarah J's books are super dense, but there's something more beach-read-y feeling about them, in part because there's a lot of repetition in internal monologue plus dialogue, stating of exposition.
Renee: Some of the earlier books, I was a little bothered by it because I felt distracting and I was so aware of how we just kept talking about what was happening in the book rather than continuing the plot.
Renee: Biggest grievance with that was book three in the main series where the plot itself was stalling.
Renee: I will pass judgment on the full five series when I have finished the two of them, hopefully not too far in the future.
Renee: I've really, really enjoyed reading them.
Renee: Some of these books, even though they're between five and pages on average, I'll read the whole thing in a week in just a couple of sittings.
Renee: Also, it's not like my comparison because for my sibling book club, we've been rereading all the Harry Potter books.
Renee: Juicy stuff happens in the last literally two chapters, where in this series, anywhere from to pages, jam-packed action at the end, which is a huge chunk of the book.
Renee: You'll hit certain junctures where things really start accelerating, and there's a lot of realizations amongst the characters.
Renee: I've been feeling pretty tired the last few weeks.
Renee: I'll get into bed thinking I can read a few pages, and I either know that I'm already so tired, I'm going to fall asleep instantly, so it's not worth it, or I make an attempt to read, and I maybe only get through a couple pages, and then I fall asleep with the Kindle or physical book propped up in front of me.
Renee: All this to say, if you have any book recommendations for me, you can find me on Fable @reneep326.
Renee: Give me a follow, we can compare our auras on there, or just chat about the different books on our list, or what we've been reading, or recommendations, react to each other's reviews, all that fun stuff.
Renee: It's such a great place to see the enthusiasm of other people who are reading, regardless of the type of genre or subject matter.
Renee: Reading, I think, is more important than ever in these times.
Renee: There's something really special about being able to discuss stories and how we relate to them on a personal level, or how they relate to current events.
Renee: I have kicked around the idea of maybe creating an actual book club forum on there.
Renee: Window has come and gone for Soul Rising.
Renee: I'm way past that point.
Renee: I thought of that idea way, way, way too late.
Renee: Maybe I could do something like that going forward.
Renee: I'd have to think of what I would want if there's a theme.
Renee: Maybe it's just spiritual books that are in there.
Renee: Maybe it's a little bit more loose.
Renee: I don't know.
Renee: I'll have to think about it more, but it could be something that's fun.
Summer Travel and Autumn Activities
Renee: I'm going to give a quick rapid fire of some other things that I did between the previous update and now, which include multiple outings of fruit picking, trips down the Cape and family vacations planned.
Renee: As always, I'll provide a work update, but honestly how I felt about it when sitting down to prepare some notes and thoughts.
Renee: I don't even really want to get into this.
Renee: I don't want to belabor it and talk about this forever.
Renee: And while things are actually more eventful than they were the previous updates, I'm recognizing how my relationship is shifting energetically with work even without being able to clearly and consciously articulate what that will look like.
Renee: There has been some major upheaval in my day job, lots of readjustments in the wake of that.
Renee: And I've had a bit of a scarcity activation.
Renee: I know a lot of other people have too.
Renee: Astrologically, some of that makes sense.
Renee: And I've really been trying to focus on the positive, looking for the lesson and stepping back to the bigger picture to identify any patterns that I have fallen back into since even before season one of this podcast.
Renee: What's really important to me is figuring out how I can live in a way that's not out of obligation, and especially to obligations and frameworks and expectations that I have fully made up within my head, or that have been taught by society and aren't helpful to anyone, not just about me.
Renee: And recalibrating for myself how work should look, even more broadly, how I should allocate my time during and after the day.
Renee: And to me, that feels like an important note to end on as we pivot to our channeled forecast.
Collective Psychic Reading
Renee: For your reference, this will be applied to the release date of this episode through the next two weeks.
Renee: I have already pulled three cards, one from each of my decks, the Moonology Manifestation Oracle deck, the second from the Moon deck, also Oracle cards, and then the third one from the Moonchild Tarot deck.
Renee: Let's set our intention here.
Renee: Call in all of our guides of good intention, highest vibration to support us with wisdom, insights, and our best interests at heart in alignment with our highest selves.
Renee: The visual that I'm seeing is a large Tupperware container being opened.
Renee: It's as if it was sitting in the back of the fridge.
Renee: We forgot it was there.
Renee: We pull it out to check what's inside.
Renee: We lift the lid part way and we see, yuck, it's moldy.
Renee: There's something that has slid into the margins of our life, and unfortunately, it's past the point of no return.
Renee: I'm being encouraged right away to flip over the first card, again from the Moonology Manifestation Oracle Deck, the first quarter moon in Cancer, and the mantra is, push through any insecurity.
Renee: Naturally, we're a little perturbed, a little uncertain, wondering why and how circumstances wound up in this way.
Renee: How do we let this slide?
Renee: How do we miss this?
Renee: We might be feeling a little bit mad about that.
Renee: However, we can't let this get in our head nor get in our way.
Renee: I'm going to read a quick passage from the guidebook.
Renee: Quote, maybe you think you're not good enough or you're waiting for something to go wrong.
Renee: This isn't the way to get what you want in life.
Renee: Instead, be kind to yourself and others.
Renee: Work on your insecurities and head towards your goals.
Renee: From the goal standpoint, whenever we're talking about with cancer, we have to remind ourselves that the sister sign of cancer is Capricorn, which is incredibly goals oriented.
Renee: What is our focus?
Renee: What is our mission?
Renee: What do we want to accomplish?
Renee: What were we maybe so focused on that distracted us from checking in on those leftovers in the back of the fridge and letting them expire?
Renee: Is there a new goal that we want to set?
Renee: The quick note here is not to set a goal that is so literal as to target the thing that quote went wrong.
Renee: In this analogy, the food going bad, that would be like us setting a goal to say, every single week, I'm going to check every item in the fridge and make sure that nothing gets pushed to the back.
Renee: In this situation, we're trying to get at the deeper root of the why, the how we ended up here, where our focus is and how we're feeling about our interactions with the world and with our goals, rather than the particular issue at hand.
Renee: Really, this isn't that much of an issue.
Renee: We can just decide to throw it out.
Renee: It's a bummer, but there is a lesson in us having to navigate that relationship with waste, with loss, with missed opportunities, however it is that we are feeling about this situation.
Renee: It's at this point that hopefully we've taken that container, dumped it all out in the trash, or thrown it down the garbage disposal, or composted it, whatever we want to do.
Renee: We move over to the sink, we start cleaning the bowl out, we're scrubbing it, we're tending to it, caretaking.
Renee: This is cancer.
Renee: Whenever we are tending to the world outside of us, we want to give a little back to ourselves as well.
Renee: I'm getting that the way for us to do that is to lean into the message on our second card from the Moon Deck.
Renee: This is the guidance card.
Renee: I'm on the right path and divinely guided.
Renee: You'll see this when I post the images of these cards on social media.
Renee: These first two cards, while from different decks, both have a shadowy figure, faced away from us, standing in water.
Renee: Like, what are the odds of that?
Renee: Now getting into more of the message for the wisdom coming our way.
Renee: When we're tending to ourselves, honestly, I think the message in this second card plays perfectly in the hands of the first one.
Renee: A way for us to push through the insecurity is to keep reminding ourselves we're on the right path.
Renee: Anything that we think is going wrong, maybe was meant to go wrong.
Renee: Maybe there's a reason that that food went bad, that we needed to throw it out, then we did.
Renee: It wasn't necessarily getting hung up that we did something wrong.
Renee: We caused it to go bad or we were neglectful.
Renee: Anything that is expiring or shedding right now could in fact be very much to our benefit.
Renee: We want to nurture ourselves through tending to our environment, to ourselves, clearly some sort of a connection to water, again perfect for cancer.
Renee: Whatever way you want to do that with a full body bath, a foot bath, maybe bringing some aromatics, shower steamers, or going swimming somewhere in the ocean, in a lake, or at a pool.
Renee: The mission here is to simply be more present when we are in connection to water.
Renee: So even in the example, cleaning out that Tupperware, rather than putting on a podcast or music or calling someone on the phone or watching a show while doing that at the same time, focusing on the sensations, the connection to the water, the replenishing, healing power of it.
Renee: The act of what you're doing, you are cleaning, you are cleansing, you are renewing.
Renee: We don't need to throw the container out just because it had something moldy inside of it.
Renee: We can still reuse it.
Renee: It can serve yet another purpose in the future.
Renee: It's a classic baby out with the bath water.
Renee: So as we start working on that important reframe, over the coming week and change, that brings us to our third card from the Moonchild tarot deck, and it is the Nine of Wands.
Renee: Quite literally an interesting turn.
Renee: You'll see this in the images.
Renee: We now have a shadowy figure who is facing us.
Renee: The other two were standing, this one is seated and she's actually lit up.
Renee: So she's not fully in the darkness, but she has almost a haze over her.
Renee: Nine of Wands in general is representing things might be going wrong.
Renee: Maybe there is an obstacle that came up, but it is supporting our alignment.
Renee: We are three for three in a incredibly tight storyline here.
Renee: The same theme, the same messaging across three different cards from three different decks.
Renee: Whatever is coming up, whatever we believe is going wrong, we can turn it into an opportunity.
Renee: A nine is near the process of completion.
Renee: The culmination point is a ten.
Renee: With a nine, we're almost there.
Renee: She is in a seated, meditative pose.
Renee: All of her chakras are lit up.
Renee: She's connected to the cosmos.
Renee: She's connected to source energy.
Renee: We already heard the instruction in the step before, knowing that we are guided, connecting to our spirit team, connecting to our inner power.
Renee: However, this is working for you.
Renee: We're moving from a feeling of insecurity and instability, disgust, horror, shame, negative emotions churned up.
Renee: And by the end of the two weeks, knowing that we have the ability to turn anything around, because on one hand, we have so much more power than we give ourselves credit for, which gives us the ability to shift our course, while on the other hand, knowing that not everything is a direct result of steps that we take or we don't take.
Renee: Sometimes, it's about the locus of control.
Renee: Understanding what's in our power to change and what is not.
Renee: Where we are a solo activist or in a collective movement, whether we are the teacher or the student.
Renee: The quote that I'm getting here is, opportunities are abound.
Renee: Let's not ruminate or get stuck on the moldy food in the back of the fridge.
Renee: It's disposed of, it's gone.
Renee: We're setting ourselves up by the end of the two weeks for a fully clean slate.
Renee: We've cleaned the container, we're preparing to reload it with something else without fear that there's lingering mold particles.
Renee: We know we're safe.
Renee: We know we can move forward.
Renee: We know where we're going.
Renee: We know why.
Renee: And we know that we're not going there alone.
